Dogfight! HTC HD2 vs. Google Nexus One - Part 2

i liked the video very much. had a lot of my questions answered. also got to look at both phones side by side. otherwise i felt that you cannot comment on a phone if you already are going to give it a thumbs down from the get go. if you are going to do an honest comparison you really got to give an unbiased comparison. in this case you mentioned many times how you like the android. i see this as not being an informative video for someone who is teetering on the fence on which of these two phones to pick.

Why does the HD2 have to take away key space with all of those arrows? I'd rather they just made the letter keys bigger to make it even easier to type.

noah needs a break man hes taking a break, lol

anyone know where i can get the Smart Keyboard he showed on the N1?

Word. Good fight. Hate WinMo. Always behind. Android's gravy - but a bit dull. Feels like a knockoff iPhone OS. You dropped Web OS in there and, for that, sir, you get a gold star. Respect to all you who have experienced and, hence, fallen in love with the Palm devices. Peace.

The Tmobile version will be better, ROM (from 512 MB to 1 GB), a jump in RAM (from 448 MB to 576 MB). Rumored to come out March 24th

What do I know about these phones after 16 mins? That the reviewer is more used to Android phones.
As far as features go, the Sense UI and the Amoled screen are the things that separate them, but I want to know which one has a more responsive gps, which one takes better photographs, which one handles video better?

Did you have any problems with the Nexus re-booting or freezing up while you've been testing it? How's the touch screen working?

Thanks

HTC HD2 still wins the battle. Yes I like Windows.

WHAT?!
I thought this was a dogfight, not reviewing both phones at the same time! This is an outrage! Wheres noah?!
And what is better?!

As always thanks for the review. I think John confused something when slamming the "settings" towards the end of Part 1 and beg of Part 2 - which is why I'll post this comment in both areas. When he was strongly stating his dislike for the scattering of the "settings" and blaming it on Windows, he is TOTALLY INCORRECT. If he would have tapped on the setting widget - which is located in the sliding widget bar on the homescreen with all the other widgets he was tapping - you would have seen that the SETTINGS ARE ALL NEATLY GROUPED as they are on the NEXUS1. Here is a link to a youtube vid that shows this ( skip to 5:55 on the vid )

John is showing the arrangement of widgets in the "Start menu" of the OS which will show every widget so of course they are scattered. Now there may be room for improvement in organization of the Start area he was showing, but to refer to this area "Settings" is inaccurate.

I'm sorry but you forgot to mention the most important fact that distinguishes both phones
that is the Nexus One uses an AMOLED screen meaning more vibrant colours

Nice Dog fight Mr. Walton
